Google Glacier, aka G2. I checked it out. I like that I don't have to do calculus to understand how I'll be billed, or write my own retrieval software.

- vgt 9y agoAlso nice to have sub-millisecond latency to first byte (versus multi-hour) and performance characteristics of normal GCS.. so you could run a rare MapReduce job on it just the same as regular GCS :)
- Johnny555 9y agoAWS has greatly simplified their Glacier pricing from the inscrutable transfer rate pricing to more common sense latency based pricing. If you want your data back in < 5 minutes it's $0.03/GB, 3 - 5 hours, $0.01/GB, 5 - 12 hours, $0.0025/GB AWS Glacier is cheaper per month than Google ColdStorage, but Google doesn't charge more for faster access to your data. So maybe you still need that Calculus to figure out which is a better deal for your data access pattern.
- ValentineC 9y agoThis does not include standard AWS egress pricing, which is something like $92/TB.
- Johnny555 9y agoRight, and it doesn't include standard GCE egress pricing, which is something like $120/TB. https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing

- Veratyr 9y agoGiven TFA, it's probably more accurate to say $85/TB: https://cloud.google.com/network-tiers/pricing https://cloud.google.com/network-tiers/pricing
- Johnny555 9y agoDoes that apply to storage egress? The storage pricing page lists only one network tier: https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing
